ABINET UPHOLSTERY, and BEDDING, at the CABINET-MAKERS' SOCIETY, 71, LEADEN- HALL-STREET, Enrolled agreeably to Act of Parliament ; being real manufacturers in all its branches. The system upon which this is conducted precludes the possibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as not any . house in London can manufacture at these prices. The Society wishes it to be thorougly understood, that they do not receive hawked or other goods for sale, like the bazaars and haberdashers • but they make every article themselves, which enable them confidently to vrarraat their goods of the very best materials. If any fault appear it will be made good, free of all charge for twelve months. A trial is earnestly solicited df those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and decided advantages of purchasing at this establish ment can be fairly estimated. This Society being founded for the support of industrious mechanics, the funds of which provide for its members in old age and burial, they therefore sincerely hope that their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.

Manchester, 1838. THE GEOLOGY OF MOSES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. BRvT. 15, 1838, SIR, --I see in Tour widely-circulated Paper efyesterday, some remarks on - the Mosaic account of tho creation of the world by Mr. Berean—an assumed name, I suppate. The avowed object is to rescue Moss, and to prove that the rotation and orbicular constitution of the earth were known to this chieftain. This the author would establish by Joshua's words—" Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and Moon in the valley of Ajalon." Mr. B. adds, in explanation, that the Moon had not been needed for daylight, and leaves us further to conclude that both the Sun and the M)on being mentioned, the former had been stopped only for the day, and the second for the night. It must occur to every one that there was no necessity for a stopping of this kind, as the Sun would always shine in day, and the Moon at night ; but the very thought of arresting the Sun and the Moon is quite enough to convince anybody that Moses cannot claim a knowledge of astronomy. How could they be stopped, without destroying all the universe, of which our sun and our planetary system, and all the race of men, frr the advantago of one small portion of which the sun was stopped, are only insignificant parts ? Mr. B. says--" A miraculous cessation of the earth's gyration was intimated." For such a miraculous cessation of the earth's gyration, an important object of the first magnitude would be required to justify it, which no one can assign. Moreover, if the stopping of the Sun and Moon had taken place, nobody would have been left to give an account of it—the whole ce lestial system would have been overturned—there would have been an end to the existing world, and it would have become necessary to create a new one. Military manoeuvres arc best executed by daylight, there. fore the ancient writer says, generally, the Sun had been stopped—it was to be daylight till victory were obtained—till the battle was quite over—and both the Sun and the Moon are mentioned as the principal celestial bodies known to this reporter. Mr. - B. will, on referring to my article inserted in The Sun of Monday last, find that it is not wanted to rescue Moses, he not having a hand in this account. Further ex planation of what I said in that article will be found in a work of the late Professor B suer, D. D.. which has been recently translated from the German into English, bearing the title of " Theology of the Old Testament." Whoever means to speak on the Mosaic creation, let him first consider what is there stated. Moses was undoubtedly a spirited man, a popular loader, and a superior chieftain. To civilize his people he, among other means, resorted to this, that he enacted a day of rest to be kept at the end of six days of labour. This was quite a new arrangement and not to be met with among any of the neighbouring nations. In after times some reflecting Hebrew wanted to explain the origin of this institution, and it struck him that it was an imitation of the Almighty resting after having created the world in six days. For this hypothesis the author certainly claimed not the honour of being thought inspired in the sense in which we now take this word. It is a peculiarity of Hebrew writers, that they introduced God speaking ; but they mean not to pretend that he had really used exactly the words which they lend him. Ancient nations generally are prone to give a Divine origin to discoveries, sud den thoughts, &c., but they had at the same time not that de fined notion of inspiration which our modern theologians bring into play. There are in the Old and New Testament many statements which seem to be historical, but in fact are meant merely to explain a fact, and are themselves reasonings and assumptions. As for the statement given to explain how it happened that the Jews had a day of rest, when other nations had not, it seemed satisfactory to them ; but we cannot, in our times, shut our eyes to its defects. Will Mr. B. assert that the Almighty could not create the world in one day, but that he wanted for it six ? Can he reconcile it with a pure idea of God, that the Almighty should have been tired at the end of six days, and wanted a whole day to rest? If he conti nued so now, and does nothing one day in seven, how can the world go on ? Mr. B. will perceive that under the circumstances explained, the comment of his own, which he offers with a view to make the Mosaic account of the creation of the world palatable, will not serve its purpose, and is indeed out of the way. Writers might be allowed to indulge in explaining ancient authors ac cording to their views, and lending them their thoughts, but for the alsuse to which the practice leads, and the absurdities which we have seen springing from it. The Right Reverend Bishop of Exeter dared to assert in the Lords, that the Bi shops' Courts were established by the New Testament, and could not, therefore, be done away with, corrected, or al tered, according to a plan of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chancellor. The Rev. Dr. Hook was not ashamed, recently, to preach before her Ma jesty, a sermon, in which he pretended that the Bishops of the Established Church descended in uninterrupted succession from the Apostles, when he must be aware that the Greek word " episeopos" means an overseer or inspector, and that the business, aspirations, and income of the Christian inspectors of the first century, were nothing like that of the English Bi shops of the present age, who are an entirely new set of di vines, not to be found in any other Christian Church, modern or ancient. Luther, in reforming the Church in Germany would not suffer Bishops at all, they having abused their power, and he appointed " Superintendents, Inspe c t ors , Su perintendents-general," according to the extent of dioceses, who, at the same time, were obliged to preach every Sunday, and to superintend the religious education of the children of their parishioners. Such continue to be the arrangements in the Protestant States of Germany ; only in Prussia there is now an Archbishop, and two Bishops, but this is a titular dis tinction, imparting to them no right to advise his P russ i an Ma jesty on political subjects. Pain ter s study the original works of celebrated masters, and poets read not the translations but the original works of Homer, Virgil, Petrarch, &c. In the same manner it is incumbent on those who presume to lead the people in the path of religion to study its original sources. The English Clergy receive, generally speaking, the Christian religion only at second hand. They are not familiar with the language, the manner of think ing and reasoning, the whole spirit o f t h e H e b rews of the time of Christ, and from that they are liable t o a d opt a b surd theories and vagaries , w hich place Christianity in opposition to know ledge, and —with reference to the subject under consideration modern geology to the elem entar y k n o wledge of the Pentateuch. Certainly the wonders of the world, and the power of Him who has neither beginning nor end, are more apparent fro n the works of modern writers on geology than from the im perfect account put at the head of the Old Testament. I be , to add, that in my article of Monday last th e word Kateclretik has been by a misprint changed itvo Katerhe/ik ; the latter is neither German, nor English, nor of any lan guage.

Sut,—l was much pleased with many of the remarks of your correspondent " Aleph," on the 10th instant, on the ve.rata questio" respecting the geological accuracy because efthe Mosaic (so called) accou nt of the creation and delu ge , I think them likely to lead the religious public, through the means of your widely circulating Journal, to think odiously. and yet boldly, on such subjects as have long had the fullest discussion in Germany, and with the best results. Most religious persons in England are afraid to see any thing in their Bible with their own eyes. Fearful of erring in so important a matter, they, instead of employing th e fa culties God ha.; given them in that most delightful and noble object, the search after truth, merely inquire what other err ing, fallible, mortals have seen there. The conclusions their own judgment immediately and irresistibly draws, are quelled by a sedative prescribed by some commentator of repute. Thus the world gets older, but not wiser. Much has been made of the testimony of Cuvier, that the order in which the book of Genesis states the creation of vege tables,fishcs, an d b easts to h ave procee d e d , appears from geological researches to be correct ; but this seems to me a matter of very small importance, since the Mosaic account allots only an evening and morning for each grand stage in the creation, whilst geo l ogy says eac h process must h ave re quired whole ages. Any one reading the history with open eyes, must be convinced that Moses adopted a traditionary account of the creation. We arc told that on the first day of creation God create d light; that darkness had previously existed on th e f ace of the deep, and that God divided the one from the other. That the writer of Genesis supposed dark ness to be material, is clear from what is said subsequentl). where we read of darkness scl thick that it could be felt. On the second day, the author says, Elohim, or the gods, made a ti , rmanient, t o di v id e the waters below from the waters a b ove . From this, it seems the formation of rain was not understood, but that the firmament was a blue partition made to divide the waters beneath from the storehouse above. On the third day, the land and water were divided, and trees, &c. formed ; but on the fourth the sun, and moon, and (stranger still) the stars, were created. Thus, whilst one day was required to produce light and to divide it from darkness, and another to scp irate the waters below from the waters above, another day was suf ficient for creating the stars. I know the Almighty Creator could, had h e so pleased, have created them in one day ; but is it not clear to any man in his senses, who dares to use them, that the author of this account supposed the stars to be I the twinkling lamps, of small importance compared to the earth, instead of bei ng each the centre of a system lik e t h a t o f which the earth forms a part, and, therefore, not requiring much time for their production. In the fifth day fishes and fowls were made, and on the sixth Elohim, or the Gods, said, Let us make man in our own imve, and did so creating them male and female. I know Paul says, referring to th's assertion, that the image of G o d was knowledge, righteousness, an d tru e holi ness, but that this was not meant by the writer of . Genesis is clear by the text it se lf, as we ll as by . 'what is affirmed i n Genesis vi. . and wher e we are to ld t h at t h e S o ns of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and that the result was what might have been expected—giants, mighty men of renown. I could add many more proafs on this subject, but enough has been said to draw the attention of your intelligent reads rs to the free but reverential discussion of this all-important m.nt ter, which occup i es so much of the re flection of every thinking man in the universe. The usual answers to such retnarks as PRICE sd. those above, are quibbles which satisfy no one. The subject must be met fairly. I conclude with a quotation from the Venerable, pious, an d le ar n e d D r . S e il e r, Proffessor of Divinity at Erlangen : Interpreters should guard against an impru dent zeal f.r antiquated prejudices, and particularly against the Nsition that every thing which the Prophets have said or written was verbally dictated to them by the immediate in splration et the Spirit of God. Such extravagant assertions can serve no ether purpose than that of furnishing the oppo nents of truth with a handle for ridicule. It is enough to show that the fulfilment of the prophetic oraeles, if rightly in terpret-,d, is obvious to all who diligently read the Scriptures, and are acquainted with the history of mankind. It jc enough if there be found in the prophetic writings generally b con staut and harmonious plan of prophetic instruction, a sys tematic chain of predictions, an analogy of divine annun ciations, a whole succession of oracles whose truth has been confirmed by fulfilment." I am, Sir, Your obedient servant and constant reader, QUJESITOR. Lincon's Inn, Sept. 13, 1838. UNIVERSAL" SUFFRAGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—How far the above term can be justly applied to the population of the British Isles, the advocates of their rights, irrespective of EQUAL RIGHTS %1 bleb our fellow-subjects be yond seas must possess, may attempt to show. I trust that the demanders of Suffrage will reflect, for equity sake, that the Colonists rather than ourselves are concerned, as being virtual returners of Legislators, " for" them by us. We certainly must be interested respecting the choice of those who are to make laws fur us ; but let the Home and the Co lonial millions be summed, and it will be found that tl - e voter here is a votirJg representative of a numerous dumb consti. tuoncy beyond seas, whose benefit with our own is morally and nationally to be considered in choosing those whose office it is to frame impartial Statutes for the Empire. May justice for the United Empire guide the minds of official electors. Your's truly, WM. F. G. W. September 17, 1838. SWINDLING IN THE COMMERCIAL WORLD. (From the Commercial Gazette of Sept. 19.) A system of swindling, almost unprecedented, has recently been brought to light—a system the most organised and com plete, and carried on with a success which has hitherto been unparalleled. Not less than eight or nine individuals in dif ferent parts of the town and country have constituted the ini• quitous gang. The principal lived in Botolph-lane, to whom references for the respectability of the other parties were made. Upon inquiry about either party, the ledger of the Botolo-lane concern was opened and freely shown to the in quiring dupe. Debits and credits to large amounts ap peared ; and the customers appeared most desirable ones, and not the least suspicion was, therefore, entertained. Goods were bought, taken to Botolph-lane, and dis posed of at an immense sacrifice. Such goods have been traced to the neighbourhood of Tower-hill. Not content with this system of fleecing, they had recourse to the manufactur ing of fictitious bills—a :arge amount of which has got into circulation, both among the bankers and discount brokers of this city. It is supposed that the " Fra Diavolo" of this banditti is now on his way to America in the Great TVestern. The Lo Mayor was applied to on this occasion for a warrant against the parties, but the sapient Hobler said, " Gentlemen, you have truved them your goods, and they have a right to do what they please with them. As to swindling, there is no such thing in law II" We observed a wary " Friend" in town from Yorkshire, whose anxiety of countenance but too well bespoke his sym pathy with the London dupes. publicly v er ify part i cu l ars . A few days will THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. (LATEST ARRIVALS.) During the last three days the weather has been as genial as could be wished. Sunday in particular was a delightful day—the sun shone in all its splendour ; and, though Saturday and yeste , day were somewliat cloudy, the temperature was scarcely less sultry. Under the iduence of such beautiful weather the u:iripened crops arc hastening rapidly to maturity, and the havest operations are proceeding briskly. A large proportion cf the grain in this ne;glibJurhood is now cut down ; and, should the weather continue fair and warm, the fields may be expected to he cleared of their crops in the course of a few weeks. In the Grassmarkct, yesterday( Monday) morning, a considerable number of shearers were hired at one shilling a-day with victuals.—Edinburgh Advertiser. The quantity of foreign grain in bond in Greenoc'i is not very large. Of Oats there ere 2,901 quartrrs; of Wheat 51, and of Pease 49. The foreign Flour in bond amounts to ;sl7. 1. 3.—Greenock Advertiser. (From the Dumfries Courier of yesterday.) A considerable breadth of grain was cut by scythe and sickle last week ; much of it, however, by fits and starts; for the weather has again, been open to vi c i ss i tu d e , an d f arm work to serious interruption. Taken all in all, the present is the most singular and non-descript season we ever remember. Smart showers have fallen of late, with the barometer stand. ing at " set fair ;" and repeatedly evenings the most mild and beautiful have been followed by frost, and ancn rain—all in the course of ten or twelve hours. Constant change, which is bad at all times, is particularly so during harvtst ; li g h t rains, accompanied by a degree of heat, which would lead to sprouting or springing if long continued, were the husband man's portion in the end of last week ; and so puzzled were our farmers, that, while some continued cutting, others sus pended operations entirely, from an impression that the corn was much safer standing than in stook. Ia some instances wheat has been e =led, as well as toleiable quantities of oats and barley; such cases, however, are not very common ; but from the breadth of grain already cut, should the present week prove at all favourable, stacks will be seen rising in dale land far and near, as well as in every valley which a rivulet waters. Sunday and Monday were splendid day's, s, in fact, the finest we have had during the whole season. On neither morning was frost observed, and, as the glass has risen more slowly than it did before, and the wind got round to a different point—that is, out of the watery south-west—the farmers' spirits are again buoyant. It is true our anticipations have often barn disappointed ; but the prospect:is now brighter than ever, not merely of a week, but what is called a tract of of dry weather. Should this hope be realised, very little corn will be left standing in the valleys by the end of the present week. Leading, too, will go briskly forward, and, even while we write, the wains are busy conveying sheaves to the barn-yard. The hills and moors are, of course, later; but even there the crops are filling fast, and may yet be secured in a state of maturity that will swell greatly the general store. • • • • Two facts have come under our notice which arc well deserving of serious attention. A gentleman was in this neighbourhood the other day, who rested 5,000/, in foreign wheat, and sold lately for double the money, thus clearing cent. per cent. This, it wilt be admitted, was a fair hit, arid we could name a writer, residing in a country town not far from the banks of the Tweed, who has either cleared, or ex pects tt clear, 12,0001. by a similar speculation. Again, therefore, we may well ask, wherein c nsists the protection of the farmer? Landlords, in the first instance, might suffer from change ; but the evil would be temporary ; growing cen tralization and altered modes of husbandry are fast consigning to pasture, green crop or barley, all inferior soils, and as popu lation increases, the profits of grazing and feeding will increase in proportion. Ireland is becoming a litt!o 1' land, arid the great thing wanted is commercial reciprocity ; for, to the Bri tish manufacturer it is quite the same whether wages are raised abroad, or the staff of life cheapened at home. Some, we observe, argue against any duty on corn at a ll? b ut t h e i r reasonings are, and must remain, inconclusive, so long as the raw materials of our manufacturers are taxed--.a tax, be it oh. served, which is paid by the buyer, and not the seller. That a fixed duty would be best for all parties, is becoming more and More apparent, and the only question is, what should the exact amount be ? The weather has not been so favourable in England and Scotland as in Ireland, and wheat, in particular, seems to have suffered.—Dublin Evening Post. Last week the four-pound loaf fell one halfpenny, and this week there is a deduction of another halfpenny. The i.rice is now.tenpence.--7/bid. The weather has been glor:ous for the last week--summer may be said at length to have visi•e l Sued iv, and yester diy in particular, were as warm as the dog-days usually are. Toe country looks delightful —the agriculturist is everywhere busy, housing the corn that has been cut, and cu!ting th tt which necessity obliged him to leave standing until now. The wheat has suffered throughout the country—but the crop of oats and barley is unprecedented in mAgnitude. The pota toes, also, are exceedingly abundant.— Waterford Chronicle. It is a singular fact,.that ever since the alleged ac celeration by the railroads, the delivery of general post letters in the metropolis has been retarded full an hour upon the average ; while the people of Livirpool make a similar com plaint re'ative to the delivery of their now papers.

We gave yesterday an account of the calamitous explosion that occurred last Monday in the Viaduct Foundery on the Manchester and Liverpool line of Railway. Newton-on-the- Willow. We See by the Manchester Guardian that on Tues day an inquest was held to inquire touching the deaths of Joseph Dangerfield, Samuel Appleton, Gorge Fazakerley, George Hough, William Wells, John Dean, and Thoroa Price, the seven sufferers who had died from the effects of the explosion. The Jury, prior to the inquiry, went to view the bodies, which presented a sad spectacle. Dangerfield had sccreely a whole bone in his body : Wells had both his' arms broken, and the brains protruded through his skull ; his jaw-bone. was also carried away. The others were dreadfully bruis.'d And scalded: Two of the bodies were at the workhouse; the o;I: `es were lying at the cottages near the works. Peter Traverse, a labourer residing at Burton Wood, stated that he was in the employ of Messrs. Jones, Turner. and Evans, and had worked at the Viaduct Foundry since March last. He knew all the deceased men. 'I hey all worked for Messrs. Jones and Co. Dangerfield was the manager of the works, and had the overlooking of the setting up ~1- the new boiler. Witness went to work about twenty minutes to six o'clock. There were then about twenty or thirty men stand ing before the boiler furnace. Witness works as a coke bur ner. When the bell rang at six o'clock, Dangerfield was: working the engine. He directed witness to bring a can, and fetch some oil, and said, after he had oiled the shaft, he would have a fair start. ylie stopped the engine. Some men put on n it : straps, while witness oiled the shaft Whin that was done, 2angerfield started the engine. There is a wall be.. tween the e;:n;ine and the boiler. The engne had not been at work more than a minute when the boiler burst with a loud explosion. Several ,;1 the men were thrown into the wheat field adjoining. Th ey w; ._e knocked through a sheet of borer paling. Dangerfield, Fazakerle:. and Appleton, were killed on the spot. Dangerfield only gas 'e one sigh. Wells di 11 o'clock. Three of the others were tn.ly just alive. The boedil at was not burst, it was only the flue. The...team from the boiler quite darkened the windows. Mr. Jon,'s came in ten minutes after the accident. Witness sa;v Dangerfield look at the guage-cock a little before six. E r e turned it, and the water poured out freely. Witness believes be tried the lower cock.—Mr. Jones deposed that he was dress'ing himself about six in the morning of yesterday, when he heart.' what he at first conceived to be a loud clap of thunder. He iivimedi ately went to the foundry, and there found Fazakerlcy, ANle ton, and Dangerfield, dead. The survivors were removed LO their several places of residence. The boiler was quite new.. It was made at witness's foundery, and was fixed up and set going on Saturday, fur the first time. It worked well, and it was intended to be started fairly on Monday morning. The engine was a ten-horse power, and the plates of the boiler were 3-Bths thick. The boiler was twelve feet long, and four feet six inches diameter. There was a tube through it of the same thickness. The apparatus to the boiler was two guage cocks, and water-guage, and it had two safety valves upon it. It was calculated to bear a pressure of 80lbs. to the inch.. Only 351bs. were upon it when the accident happened. Witness has endeavoured to ascertain the cause of the acci dent, and he is of opinion that there was not a sufficient van tity of water in the boiler, which caused the flue to get r.:(1 hot; and when the engine pumped in the cold water, the boiler collapsed. The boiler remains firm and sound on its bed. There is an aperture made in the flue at the further end of the boiler. Dangerfield had got up the steam, and had attended the erection of the engine throughout. Witness considers that Dangerfield was perfactly competent ; but in this instance had not been sufficiently cautious. The other men were mere spectators. The steam was not blowing off. In his opinion, hydrogen gas was formed in the boiler the mo ment the cold water was let in. He drew that conclusion from the fact of the engine not having been worked more than a minute before the explosion took place.—Peter Ditchfield, the watchman, deposed, that Dangerfield ordered witness to call him at five o'clock, and to get a fire under the boiler at half-past four o'clock. Dangerfield came soon after five o'clock. At that time the water ap peared to be about a nail's length from the top of the guage. He did not try his guage-cocks while witness was near him. Witness went with Dangerfield to see some eels on the top of the pond. They floated, in consequence of some lime having been thrown into the water. He had not started the engine when witness left, about five minutes before the bell rang. Dangerfield fed the fire himself. A number of men were coming to the work just as he left. The accident happened ten or twelve minutes after. Dangerfield might have tried the gunge-cocks during the time witness was un locking the doors —John Ditchfield, the gate-keeper, con firmed this testimony. He said that, had the accident hap pened only a few minutes sooner, thirty men would have been killed.—Two other witnesses were called, but deposed to no new facts.—The Jury returned a verdict, in all the cases, of Accidental Death, occasioned by the insufficiency of water in the boiler, upon which they found a deodand of five shillings. They expressed themselves also to be of opinion that no blame was attached to Messrs. Jones, as the manufacturers of the boiler. THE REGISTRATIONS. WESTMINSTER Yesterday morning Messrs. Mylne and Craig, the Re% ising Barristers fur the city of Westminster, entered upon the busi ness of their office, and held Courts for that purpose in the Guildhall. The following is the list of claims and objections with which each of those Learned Gentlemen was furnished Claims. Objections. 121 80 St. Ann's, Soho St. Clement Danes l3 St. George's, Hanover-square 8 St. James 2O St. John, the Evangelist St. Margaret's — St. Martin's.in-the- Fields l9 St. Mary-le-Strand 3 St. Paul's, Covent-garden The Precinct of the Savoy 0 Of the above parishes it was arranged that Mr. Craig should take the last four, and Mr. Mylne the rest. (Before Mr. MYLSE.) Mr. SCORE, jun., appeared for the ,Conservatives, and Mr. TROTT for the ‘Vhig- Radical party. The first list called oa was that of the parish of St. Ann, Soho. Mr. Score, jun., objected to George Archer, who ela;mei as a scot and lot voter on the ground that, as his n ime did not appear on the List for 1832, the inferen-...e was that he was not entitled to vote at the time of the passing of the Reform Bill. The List for 1832 was produced, and foun not to contain Mr. Archer's name. 27 50 20 34 Mr. Trott produced the lists fur the two last years, in which the name was inserted.—Vote allowed. SCOT AND LOT VOTERS Several objections were made by \lr. Score to persons who claimed as scot and lot voters, in the parish of St. Martin, on the ground that their names were not in the r-gistry of 1832 ; but as generally they wire found io the sub.cqucnt lists, the cases were in order thit the proper documents might be produced fur the purpose of ascertaining whether the claimants were rated in 1832. REVISION OF THE COUNTY OF DORSET. DORCHESTER, SEPT. I 7.—The Revising Barrister, Mr. A. J. Stevens,commenced the revision of this county on Saturday. There is a very heavy list of objections, and it is anticipated that every vote will be contested with considerable energy. Some of the parishes not having returned their lists to the Clei k of the Peace, the Overse -rs have been directed to do so forth with, that being the only source from whence any lists can be received for r,:vision. The name of John Batten was objected to by Thomas Cox. It was proved that the notice of objection had been served upon the tenant in cccupatiun by an agent of the objector's. The Count held that such a service was insufficient. In the case of John Foot, who claimed a freehold-house and garden, his father appeared to support the vote, when the fol lowing legal acumen gas displayed:— Revising Barrister—Does your son possess a sufficient free. hold interest in a house and garden in the parish of Toiler to qualify him to vote in the election of Knights of the Shire for the county of 11,rset ? Witness-11e poss. Sit S a good legal freehold. Revising Bamster—,Give me your definition of a freehold ? Witness—N:l)y, a freehold is a lease for 99 years ; every one knows that in our pariah, as well as all the other voters in t! ecounty. The Court was occupied until near midnight in hearing a legal discussion resp , .cting the right of occupiers of dairy farms to vote, but no decision has beea given. On Tuesday evening las!, as Mr. John Parldison and Mr. John Wilson were returning horn(' from shooting in a pl wton with a small pony, in corning into I...nth down the hill, opposite the Boar's Head, the pony took to kicking violently and galloping; both gentlemen attempted to 'jump out, but Mr. Paddison fell upon his head, and we deeply regret to an nourkee that after lingering about ft,ur hour.: lie expired. For. tuna'ely Mr. Wilson was unhurt —Bost, n Herald. EQUINOX.—We are rtquested to state, by gr.
